Practically Magick w/ Courtney Pearl

Courtney Pearl sits down with Jenn Boyt, a certified hypnotherapist trained in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and host of the podcast Her Subconscious Blueprint, to explore how the subconscious shapes the beliefs we carry into adulthood. Jenn explains that RTT is not the stage hypnosis people picture: the client stays in control throughout, and the work relies on the theta brain state, the same state we pass through as we fall asleep and wake. Together they examine how money blocks formed in early childhood can keep a person from believing they can earn a living doing what they love, even after saying it aloud a hundred times. The conversation covers what a session looks like, from intake and childhood scene work to the recordings clients listen to for 21 days. Courtney and Jenn compare their approaches to emotional processing and energy work, and discuss neuroplasticity and Jenn's ACT method (Awareness, Choosing, Trust) for interrupting old patterns one small moment at a time. Jenn also shares how she traced her own migraines to a childhood role of protecting her mother. The episode closes with a practical reminder to vet any healer you hire, starting with a discovery call.

Aurora Shanti Kriya, a Reiki healer, end-of-life doula, medium, and past life regression practitioner, joins Courtney Pearl for a conversation about past lives, the Akashic records, and what it means to claim the word witch. The episode opens with Courtney's tarot pull, a Magician card from the Ethereal Visions deck, and the discussion of manifestation as the inner work that convinces your subconscious you deserve what you ask for. From there, the two talk about Practical Magic and Practical Magic 2, Salem's history, and why witch is a title worth reclaiming. Aurora Shanti Kriya describes her own past life regression, including a lifetime in Italy and a Southern belle life, and explains how phobias and emotional patterns can trace back to earlier lives. They also discuss the Akashic records as a library of the soul's experiences, how a healing practice can connect to past life work, and why one lifetime may not be enough to learn everything a soul came to learn.

Practically Magick: Creating Sacred Ceremony in Everyday Life Courtney Pearl sits down in her kitchen to talk about ritual, intention, and the power of creating meaningful ceremony around life's most important moments. She pulls the Devil card from the Magical Nordic Tarot and explores what it reveals about boundaries, addiction, and the patterns we unconsciously repeat. The heart of this episode centers on Courtney's experience officiating her first pagan handfasting wedding. After getting ordained to perform ceremonies, she spent a full year preparing with the couple through a series of interviews, asking deep questions about their values, their connection to the land, their childhood hopes, and what they admired in each other. This wasn't about following rigid rules, it was about empowerment and creating a ritual that reflected who they actually were. Courtney shares how the ceremony incorporated elements meaningful to the couple: guests infusing the wedding rings with blessings, a hand-fasting with a custom cord adorned with symbols of a bee and stag, a land acknowledgment honoring the Timpanogos, Shoshone, and Paiute peoples, and even tarot readings at the reception. She reflects on the contrast between traditional LDS weddings in Utah culture and the freedom a pagan ceremony allows for authentic expression. Throughout, Courtney emphasizes that magic lives in intention and meaning, not perfection. When you create ritual that matters to you, you connect more deeply to its purpose.

Practically Magick: Green Witchcraft, Herbalism & the Spiritual Warrior Courtney welcomes Sage, a green witch and psychic reader who works with plants as a primary spiritual practice. What emerges is a conversation about herbalism as ancestral medicine, the reclamation of the word "witch," and what it means to practice witchcraft as a man in a tradition historically rooted in feminine power. Sage shares the origin story of Healing Hand Apothecary, named for the healing magic passed down through generations of women in his family. He discusses his signature brews, Witches Brew (a heart-opening, mood-elevating blend), Frog's Breath (a respiratory and communication tonic), Moon Milk (for dream work and liminal spaces), and Blood Moon (a feminine-centered tea curated with intention). Each blend carries both medicinal and magical properties, rooted in the belief that plants have evolved alongside humans to meet our needs. The conversation touches on epigenetics, ancestral connection, and how witchcraft itself is a spiritual practice available to anyone willing to claim it. Sage speaks candidly about masculinity within witchcraft, the witch wound, and what it means to be a spiritual warrior in a world that has historically weaponized the word "witch" against women and the marginalized. They also explore ritual as simple connection, not theatrical performance, and the importance of asking permission from plants before harvest, a practice grounded in relationship rather than extraction.

Practically Magick: Mabon, Manifestation & Moving Forward As autumn arrives, Courtney and Jaime sit down at Rising Moon Minerals to talk about what it means to harvest the year's work and trust the timing of your own expansion. Jaime's been away from the shop for ten days, reconnecting with family at Flaming Gorge and sourcing new inventory in Denver. But the real conversation centers on what happens when you're ready for something the universe isn't quite ready to give you yet. After eight months of searching for a new space, Jaime finally found the right location, with landlords who actually respond and move things forward. The lesson: patience isn't about waiting passively. It's about understanding that what you want may not be ready for you yet. They pull the Fawn card from the Season of the Witch deck, which opens into a conversation about inner child healing, resilience, and the belief systems that keep us stuck. Courtney shares her work with a business coach on a core limiting belief: that you can't make money doing what you love. This belief has shaped her entire adult life, from career choices to how she shows up in her business now. The episode weaves together Mabon traditions, the Wheel of the Year, and practical crystal wisdom with Petrified Site, a transformative stone that supports protection, power, and deep personal change.
